What was the most under-reported news story during the Biden presidency? In the last week or so, there has been a sudden burst of recognition of the extent to which Democrats and the media worked together to cover up Biden’s progressing cognitive decline. One media figure after another has come forward to call this the “most under-reported” story of the last year or several years. Some examples among many include: CBS correspondent Jan Crawford on December 30 (“That [the most under-reported story] would be, to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in a televised debate"); Rolling Stone,...

President-elect Donald Trump shared a ruthless highlight reel of Democrats repeatedly praising President Biden’s mental sharpness, sharing it soon after a veteran reporter blasted those who helped hide his “obvious cognitive decline.” Trump shared the brutal supercut hours after CBS News reporter Jan Crawford ripped the media for helping to cover up the eldest-ever president’s decline until it was too obvious to ignore at the debate. The nearly three-minute-long video — set to the goofy Wii theme music — started with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appearing baffled that someone would even dare question Biden’s mental acuity. “Oh my...

WASHINGTON — The National Archives has finally released photos showing then-Vice President Biden meeting with two of first son Hunter Biden’s Chinese government-linked business partners — again proving that the president lied about not interacting with his family’s foreign patrons. The cache of photos, released long after their potential political salience and days before Biden retires on Jan. 20, also show Chinese President Xi Jinping grinning as then-Vice President Biden introduced his son during the same December 2013 trip to Beijing.

Joe Biden has proudly referenced his roots in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on countless occasions. But after he pardoned a judge involved in a cash-for-kids program that jailed thousands of juveniles in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Electric City is no longer feeling that spark of love. The newly elected Pennsylvania Republican State Rep. Brenda Pugh called on officials in Scranton to remove Biden’s name from expressways labeled in his honor after he pardoned former Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan. ...

Donald Trump Jr. ripped into President Joe Biden on Friday for issuing a pardon to a Chinese national who pleaded guilty to possessing tens of thousands of images of child pornography. On Thursday, Biden issued an executive grant of clemency to Shanlin Jin, a Chinese national who pleaded guilty to possessing 47,000 images of child pornography on his computer. He was arrested in January of 2021 while studying for a Ph.D. at Southern Methodist University in Texas.

Is he the Ghost of Christmas Past — or just another Scrooge? President Biden shocked attendees at the White House’s National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on Thursday night when he doffed his stocking cap to reveal long, wispy locks — appearing more like a character out of Charles Dickens’ Yuletide classic than the commander-in-chief. His white, billowy hair stood on end from the wool cap’s static electricity, spooking the White House press corps by making him seem older — and ghostlier — than usual. The shocking portraits of the 82-year-old president immediately began circulating online, earning him comparisons to the...

"But we found out at about the same time that the American University of Afghanistan was not considered a priority by the US government, and we didn't fit the qualifications, evidently, of being at risk. I understand totally that American citizens, green card holders, and those who helped the US military should be prioritized. However, our university people are very much at risk, yet we failed to be in that category according to the US government. We have had to depend on private assistance and on the Qatar government over the past two weeks to get our students out. Now...
